Is this what the roots are supposed to look like in soil ?

Just finished harvesting. Everything currently
Hang drying. went pretty good for a first grow. Was curious to see what the roots would look like after and this is what came out. I hosed off all the soil. Why would the roots look all curled like that ? Is that normal ? Maybe I had em in the red solo cup too long before I transplanted back in April.

That too, roots probably filled it to the bottom. Cloth bags work better both for aeration and root trim but they require watering more often.
